The two-color combinations co-ed will ask Santa to bring her are seen parading around foreign In her stocking Christmas morning campuses. Last issue's fashion may include most everything from artichokes to zebras. For all of you good little girls who get all your I lessons in on time, pass all of your exams with an A average and who buy plenty of war bonds and st w: lamps (plug) Santa may bring hat your heart desires (that is if It is within reason). Any girl loves jewelry. If your taste turns to the more dainty and fern mili inine sort of lapel pins, tiny : ilitary insignias of your best beau in the service are in demand. For you who are still holding out lor one of the Weber college lads Janice and Jay) may enjoy the audy and humorous lapel pins. Pearls, either one, two, or three-strand are popular with any girl. Like Sweaters Any girl in her right mind can never get enough sweaters. Sweat ers go in any setting at any time. The long sloppy Joe in the heavy Th loo Wl oose knit are a coming favorite th anyone. A fad on other cam puses is the snitching of the beau's best sweater. V-neck's with "T" shirts add to the more or less sloppy air the typical college girl tries to obtain in her manner of dress. Speaking of sweaters, have you seen the pale green cable gtitched number that Grace Stone 2 ari CO sp ha casionally wears? Its a honey! The well-loved Godsend, dickies, are welcome to all of us. Dickies come in many colors, so white on't be the main choice. A little ice may be added to them by avmg your initials, nickname, s C( school or club embroidered on the collar at a local store. kirts Come Next Skirts are next in line. We can never have enough of those little (depending on your size) pinch hitters. Plaids are favored above the plain colored ones this season, although there isn't much difference in their rating. The plaids this year are sure-fire attention getters. The drab skirts of the Horse and buggy days are gone forever. Socks needn't be the plain colored standbys when there are so many novelties sprouting. Plaid anklets aren't exactly new but they are nice. If you want a little color added to your wardrobe, boys' plaid or striped socks are just the thing. A certain group of girls seemed to have braved the ridicule and donned knee length socks. Bright red, yellow and green are all good cheerful colors. The fact that the average male doesn't appreciate these leg mufflers, makes the wearing of them all the more fascinating.The rubber footwear situation is rather a ticklish subject and must be approached from an awkward angle. White, red, brown and SHOE SKATES AND SKIS The Ideal Gift See Them at lOf-Sfi STARTS "The Saint Meets the Tiger" column gave you good tips as to ho wto preserve your boots. If you . ' are wise you will take heed of the pointers. Christmas Brings Parties With the Christmas holidays almost on us, parties, dances and other social affairs will be held. Afternoon dresses will always be in great demand. After poking around in various dress shops and taking note of the various styles, I will try to relate what can be expected for the Christmas holidays. The basic black dress is accented with black, silver, or gold-colored sequins. Three-quarter length sleeves are all the vogue this season. Soft wool jerseys are warm, serviceable and lovely looking. A salmon red number such as the one worn by Lois Carver at the 4-F dance last Saturday night would be acceptable by most all of us. Winter white is another color one couldn't go wrong on. White was once reserved for summer wear only, but that idea has been revamped and it is a known fact that it is now a year 'round specialty. A two-piece white dress with gay peasant embroidery is just the thing for a heavy date. Pinafores are Popular A popular creation with all of us is the pinafore style jumper. Some of Ogden's leading stores have these in red, gray, brown and green corduroy and for the more dressy occasions, black and white checked taffeta is nice. Any of these few suggestions will help you girls decide what you want for Christmas, as if you already haven't made up your minds already.

Christmas Spirit Surrounds Weber Campus Festivities Play Cast Visits Salt Lake Costume House By Pat Jergens In a dingy, condemned building in Salt Lake City is housed perhaps the most fascinating establishment in the city- It is the Hillam costume house. Row after row and room after room is filled with costumes of every period and year. The cast of the play, "The Importance of Being Earnest," went to Salt Lake City last Wednesday to choose the costumes for the play. Presiding over his memory-filled haven of the past, Mr. Hillam blended in with his surroundings beautifully. He is a tall man with long white hair, which looks very much like some of the silk that is on his costumes. His skin is like the parchment that fiction writers are forever exploiting. (I've never seen parchment, but I do read a lot) The female contingent of the cast, chaperoned by Matt Gait, crept up the steep, dark stairs with grave doubts on the sensibleness of such an undertaking. The skylight that looked down from the fifth floor make thesmoke-begrimed walls look more drab than usual. Betty Peterson was constantly musing over the delightful prospect of "Wouldn't this be a wonderful place for a murder?" Then she'd fairly drool fiendishly over each one of us. Not that we suffered any misgivings over Betty, but all the way up stairs she walked in the lead. Once inside the costume house, we were transported back a good fifty years. Imagine Carolyn Clayton in a lacy beruffled gown that her grandmother might have worn; Evelyn Teuscher in a rich blue velvet with blue ostrich plumes in her hat; Betty Peterson in a severe black velvet with a neckline that might serve as a dog collar; and yours truly blossoming forth in a "little creation that weighs a good ten pounds and strangles you as well. We have a little trouble with the Boy Meets Girl at Taylor-Wright's for Campus Togs CLRLEE CLOTHES 1 i I Merry Christmas Welcome at "Beautiful Shoes" The Store of Tomorrow v w - w COMPANY INC OGDEN With Christmas holidays approaching, the social committee at Weber has begun making plans for the annual Christmas party which is to be held December 17 at p. m. in the gym building. Since many Weber alumnae will be home on furloughs, this party will serve as both a get together and get acquainted shindig. Christmas trees will be distributed throughout the buildings on the campus and are also being decorated by this committee. The students will sing Chrismas carols' while gathered around lighted trees; a program and light refreshments have also been planned. The remainder of the evening will be devoted to games such as ping pong, checkers and bingo in the lobby and women's lounge, while there will be dancing in the college ballroom. In order to bring the Christmas spirit of home to some .of the boys who are away from home, a hearty welcome has been extended to all the naval cadets. It is hoped that through parties such as these, Webers' cadets will try to make themselves a part of the school during their brief stay here. Committee members in charge of the Christinas activity are Kathryn Thornley, chairman; Ivy Mclntyre and Althea Andelyn, publicity; Betty Jo Green and Luella Mc-Pherson, music; Luana Collins and Valeta Purrington, refreshments; Ray Dabb and Louis Weathers, games. Miss Welling will assist the committee in mixing the students, alumnae and naval cadets together. hats. If we tipped them one way, the brim sliced into our shoulders. If we tipped them the other way, the plumes draped coyly down over both eyes and curled innocently into our mouths. We would have tried wearing the plumes down the back, but that would have necessitated installing rear view mirrors to see who was being crushed in the face. After the primary business of getting dresses was over and Mr-Hillam and Lark Taylor were getting the odd pieces lined up, two of the more wayward girls snooped into some of the costume boxes. They even went so far as to try on some of the dresses that looked fresh from "Gone With the Wind." There was one dress of heavy green velvet, droop shoulders, and hoop skirt that both Betty and I looked ""tries chic" in. (O. K., so we did look like duds.) It was a strange thing for Salt Lakers to see six rather noisy students go charging down Main street loaded down with bundles under the leadership of a bland female brandishing a walking stick and roaring "Forge ahead, gang! Never mind the lights!" (Editor's note: Since our columnist turned this story in, Mr- Allred, director, has decided that the play would "go on" but in modern dress. However, Miss Jurgens reports that the cast did have fun in Salt Lake, anyway.) UTAK 1 1 Freshman Girls Pledged Into Otyokwa Tribe Otyokwa recently held an impressive candle light ceremony for the eighteen freshmen girls who were officially made pledges at that time. President Shirley Burrows greeted each girl into the tribal circle after her big sister had pinned on a gold arrow head signifying its wearer as a papoose. Following the ceremony, both members and pledges enjoyed refreshments served buffet style and the club songs were sung. The following members and their little sisters were present, Shirley Burrows, Janice Felt, Madelyn Hillis; Marjean Hickman, Elaine Anderson, Noretta Blaes, Luciel Wright, Lu Jean Scoffield, Irena Sessions, Elizabeth Schelin, Mary Jean Schott, Louise Thomas; Pat Jurgens, Pat Critchlow, Pat Boyle, Evelyn Teuscher, Doris Wheelwright, Lynette Harbertson, Ber-nice Rawlings, Beverly Felt, Janice McKay, Connie Jenson, Donna Allen; Shirley Mills, LaVerne Jones and Cleo Anderson- At a recent business meeting, the committees in charge of the Friendship banquet and the Otyokwa assembly were appointed. The squaws and the papooses wish to extend their thanks to the student body officers and especially to Mrs. Tanner for the delicioifs turkey dinner they enjoyed in the cafeteria on December 2. AWS Give Time To Sale of Stamps and Bonds With the "Feather Fantasy" a thing of the past, A.W.S. is devoting its time to the war bond and stamp drive. Last year's bond drive was considered one of the finest achievements of A.W.S. and with the cooperation of all individuals another successful year is assured.Miss Gene Phillips is in charge of the competitive fed star chart this year. This chart will keep a weekly record of the bond and stamp purchases of every student in the school. For every purchase from a ten-cent stamp to a bond, a red star will appear opposite the name of the purchaser. The clubs on the campus are also competing against each other in the sale of the bonds'. Bonds and stamps may be purchased at noon every day at the A.W.S. bond booth in the gym building. All students are urged to participate in this activity. The week before the Christmas holidays a small Christmas tree will decorate the ladies' lounge. Both officers and advisers hope this will create the Christmas spirit at Weber. L. D.
